Secluded/Remote/Waterfront Estate BOOK NOW OPENINGS GOING QUICK
Upon entering the property driving down the 1/4 mile long oyster shell driveway you will realize that you have hit a HOME RUN. Drive slowly down the driveway as not to disturb the wild turkeys or deer that are abundant on the property. Once you arrive at my home on the right you will be greeted by the caretaker who will show you the in's and out's of the place. Bring your personal water craft and fishing poles because if you enjoy the water you can launch right from my pier.
The interior of the house will remind you of a place that time forgot. A lot of antiques are there so be careful as not to break or handle any of them.
Enjoy your stay and bring your favorite book or fishing poles because you won't want to leave once arriving.
Alot of people use the word paradise but I DELIVER THE REAL DEAL. SEEING IS BELIEVING.

This property's seclusion is excellent. There is a lot of wildlife on land and water. However, as the owner will state, this property is not right for everyone. Read the reviews. The reviews do not cover what I am listing below. I debated not even rating it.
Things not described in the listing:
1) External cameras everywhere. They are very overt and make you feel uncomfortable. I do see a need for some sort of camera system. This was an overkill.
2) Yes, there is Wi-Fi, but good luck with it. It is hit or miss. Due to signal strength, I believe it is located elsewhere on the property. This was very spotty. Yes, we wanted seclusion but ensure you download all your books and content before you show up.
2) Ants on the countertops and built-in dining table. The ants were present on arrival, and filled traps were found in both locations.
3) Ensure you read the rule book and rules on the refrigerator. This is where you will learn that trash needs to be taken with you, how to properly use the shower, and other tips for the property.
4) Be prepared for the unique features of this property. It's a converted garage or boathouse, which we could tell from the start. However, it's a handyman's special with exposed wires, a light fixture hanging open in the kitchen, and missing or dislodged baseboard moldings. Also, please be careful on the upper deck as some boards are rotted through, and there is a possibility of falling through.

Rockin Rando is so helpful and communicative. So many tips to have a great stay. My only sad part is we were gone from the house to much and i could have just stayed there and enjoyed nature!

Beautiful spot. Location location location! Can’t wait to go back

We enjoyed our stay. We had our dogs with us and they enjoyed it also. We would definitely stay again.
Thank you Randy

We caught plenty of crabs off the dock. The fish gave us the slip. Everyone we met in the area was super nice. It is a great place to leave the hustle and bustle behind.
4.7
We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of activities, crabbing was fun, fishing was great as well. Like any other place in America bring sunscreen and bug spray. It wasnt bad just enough to warrant protection. Great outdoor activities and will not have time to do everything. We will be returning next year to continue our adventures.

The stay was great if you don’t mind cameras watching you. Propane tank was empty, couldn’t sit on balcony because straw would go up my ass from the crappy chairs. Stove top was dirty with mysterious fluid. It was what it was. Plenty to do in area. Plenty of undersize crab available- we threw them back.
4.7
We really enjoyed our stay! We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch and on the dock. Caught lots of crabs, harvested some oysters and had some great meals with them. Access to the water was our prime reason for renting and this place did not disappoint! It is roomy, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware. If you're a bug magnet like me, be sure to use spray—even on the porch—those "No see-ems" are ferocious! Owner is a good guy who seems to really want his place to be enjoyable for his renters—communication was great!

The only thing I could say that isn’t positive is that it doesn’t sleep 6 comfortably or with privacy. Randy was a great host and its a beautiful location.

My husband and I wanted a quiet get-away for a few days to unplug and relax. This property is the perfect place for that! It is a beautiful.setting - we took advantage of the canoes and even went crabbing. It rained one day so we decided to drive into town (15min) to visit a lovely antique mall. Perhaps we were inspired by all of the wonderful antiques which decorate this house! Randy (the owner) is very accommodating and responsive to the questions we had. The T.V. reception is questionable at times, but there are many movies available on DVD. We enjoyed the huge screened in back porch and sitting on the dock watching the osprey (never did see the eagle but we saw his nest). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We had fun crabbing off the dock. Using the canoes was a good way to pass the time. Kids had a blast. I will say there is not 3 bedrooms. Upstairs there is one official bedroom. The second bed is in an open area at the top of the stairs. The 3rd bedroom is just the pull out sofa in the livingroom. It was fine for us with just two kids who shared a bed but if other couples are going that would be nice to know. We had originally booked this place because it had a boat ramp. Upon booking and speaking with the owner I was informed that our boat could not go out from his ramp and we had to still drive to a local ramp. Which was not far but again that was the main reason for booking this house. His ramp is more for just the canoes and jet skis. Also the dock pictured in listing where the boys are crabbing is not his dock. It is the neighbors dock....which is another reason why we had thought we could put our boat out there. If you are looking for a very secluded place to stay this is a great place. We enjoyed the quiet for sure.

Nice relaxing week spent on the water.

Rustic cottage with the necessities needed for a fun weekend with two boys (6 and 12). Crabbing and fishing from the pier, along with a short ride to boat dock to launch boat.
4.7
Great place to get some rest and relaxation. We loved the upstairs ambience and the screen porch was the best.

We had a great vacation at this house with our friends and family. The water was deep enough for us to keep our 21’ Mako, even with the low tide. We enjoyed several meals of fish and crab caught right off the pier, or off our boat. If you don’t have a boat, there are also kayaks and canoes to use to take in the scenery. The screened porch was great for getting out of the sun and enjoying the evenings, when we weren’t sitting by the outdoor fire pit. The kitchen is small, but it has much of what you need, as well as grills and a crab pot outside. There is a combination of antiques and interesting/amusing items in and out of the house. We enjoyed finding something new each day. There are 2 queen beds upstairs, with a pullout sofa and loveseat. Downstairs is a large couch and another pullout sofa. The pullout isn’t the most comfortable, but we had an air mattress that worked just fine. I would suggest a little more storage for guests to store their food and clothing. In the upstairs bathroom, towel hooks would be nice for guests sharing the bathroom. There is a Roku upstairs, but if you need tv, you can also bring your own Firestick or Roku for the other tv’s. We were so busy having fun, we didn’t really need to.

Rural area, very quiet and peaceful. Very nice dock. We used the crab pots and actually caught decent size crabs that we steamed. Enjoyed watching the tides on the creek rise and fall, listening to all the birds and having coffee on the dock. Screened porch is very nice. Our dog loved running around. Thank you for being pet friendly. We grilled most evenings but we took lunch time rides to nearby Onancock, Watchpreague and Chincoteague. Great place if you want to get off the grid for a bit. Thank you Randy

very nice here next to the bay ,Quiet and peacefully. Lots of room to let the dog run.the screened in back porch is a blessing sitting out at night and listening to a pair of whippoorwills call to each other . Well priceless !

We enjoyed setting out the crab pots and catching 6 keepers. We enjoyed the chance to take our boat from Va beach right to the dock.
4.7
The property is nice. It was very quiet. My only complaint is we should not have been charged a cleaning fee when 1 we used our own sheets per owners request. 2 Had to wash the towels and wash rags at our expense. 3 Had to take the trash with us. Other than the cleaning fee everthing else was ok.
4.7
Great location right on the water. Access to kayaks and canoes was a great addition to this booking. Nice dock m and good for crabbing and fishing. Randy was also easily available to answer questions

My wife and I and our 9 month old puppy spent 3 extremely enjoyable and relaxing days at Rockin Rando’s home over the Thanksgiving holiday. We found the description on the website to be accurate, communication with the owner (Randy) was outstanding, and the house had everything we needed for a great stay!
The house is a tad rustic but was very clean and cozy and spacious. We slept in the First Mate’s Quarters and it was quite comfortable with a great view. There are also a ton of interesting and unusual collectibles and antiques for viewing pretty much everywhere you go inside and out, which was fun in itself!
We were lucky to have a couple of 60 degree days in late November so we spent most of our time enjoying the screened in porch, the dock, the kayaks and the beautiful scenery. The yard and surrounding area were perfect for our puppy to run and play and explore.
A good time was had by all and we will definitely consider staying there again in the future.

This place is located in a beautiful part of the eastern shore. It was NOT as represented online. The online description says that it is a three bedroom home. It is actually a one bedroom home with a large loft. So all sleeping areas are upstairs and there is an exit to a deck from the loft area which is unable to be opened. Creating a safety hazard for those people sleeping there.
The listing also says there are three bathrooms. This is a false statement there are two bathrooms and an outdoor shower. The outdoor shower simply has a showerhead and faucets no other bathroom amenities.
There are 360° cameras posted along the outside of the house. This makes the outside shower feel a little uncomfortable
When we checked in the floor was incredibly dirty and there was a thick layer of dust on all of the items on the shelves. Many of the items on the shelves were interesting antiques but we couldn’t get past the fact that it was really dirty.
When we went to look at the bedroom the one bedroom there were dirty sheets on the bed.
The front door will not lock from the inside so the only way to secure it is by sticking a wooden dowel in the tray where the sliding door opens. This did not instill a sense of safety to us.
I sent the owner photos of the dirty floor in the bed and the door that wouldn’t open and he would only give me the cleaning fee back.
We only stayed one night. The location was highly misrepresented online

Very peaceful waterfront property with lots of crabs and oysters.Great spot for relaxing weekend.

The Grandsons and my self really enjoyed the water , woods, animals, quietness, fishing and crabbing. The owner was very helpful, informative and very easy to communicate with. Every thing we forgot and needed was there. We will be back next year

Quiet relaxing area but can’t relax completely due to multiple restrictive rules by owner (List of “Do Not ….”) . And it is not pleasant during rainy weather! Water was coming from the sealing in the kitchen , no power, no phone, no water or toilet during power outages.
4.7
Quiet ! Great place to relax. I had a 7 and 10 yr old girls with me they loved catching the crabs! I needed to relax and get away and thats exactly what I did. This was one Vacation that goes down in history as being one of the best!

My husband and I typically go crabbing every year but this was our first time staying at Rocking Randy's place. His listing is very accurate if he doesn't have it you don't need it! The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to cook all of the crabs that you will catch. Typically when we rent houses we deal with the rental company, however we were in communications with Randy from day one which we really liked. He gave us directions to the house, included where to stop for bait and told us exactly what to get in order to catch the crabs and what beer to bring! When we got to the house the crab pots were already out on the dock ready for us to bait and throw in. Our favorite spot was the screened in back porch it was perfect for playing games when you needed to get out of the sun. My husband and I ventured out to the bay on the canoes. It was absolutely the perfect vacation. If you are looking for a secluded vacation spot this is the one. We will definitely be back!

We always look for properties that are secluded and full of nature, and this place checked ALL the boxes! The house itself is just fascinating with all the carefully placed antiques and artifacts. So much to look at, we never even attempted to turn on the TV! My boys and I kayaked, fished, caught lots of blue crabs (which we released, because even though I'm an eastern shore girl, I am slightly ashamed to say I STILL dont know how to pick them!) The screen porch is just amazing, it just brings a sense of comfort and happiness. I often had a stupid smile on my face for no particular reason...
At night, the stars are brilliant, my youngest son said he could "see whole galaxies". Randy is wonderful, he really cares and was always there for anything. If you're looking for a "real getaway", this is your place! Thanks for sharing this special place Randy. -Julie (Jill)

Loved the house and the area. Property is exactly as listed. The husband and I as well as our two dogs totally loved the trip. 1st time crabbing and Randy explained exactly how to set the crab pots and steam the crabs. Made for an amazing dinner. We went to the local markets and purchased fresh clams & flounder. Delicious ! Seen tons of critters.. deer, rabbits , multiple birds , lizards & fiddler crabs . Drive was easy. Once you cross the Bay bridge it’s beautiful huge farms. Favorite part of the house was the screened porch as well as sitting on the dock and watching all the fish and wildlife . Ate at a few local restaurants. Mallards & an Irish pub not to far away. Both were very good. Perfect place to relax and enjoy Mother Nature . Hope to book again and bring some family members that like to fish!

Let me start by saying this: if you can avoid vacationing with boys overflowing with teen angst, do so.
For the kids, I thought it would be perfect. They love fishing, and I thought that having bay access out the back door and the ocean approx 30 min away would be ideal. I was wrong. The got bored with crabbing, and they never thought about taking their boat out, except at low tide. But this is not a reflection on Randy’s property. Rather, I mention it as something to think about if you’re traveling with angsty teens and hope to relax. On the bright side, there’s plenty of remote areas to hide a body or two.
This is not the Ritz Carlton, nor did we want it to be. For myself and my boyfriend, this property was practically perfect. Quiet, peaceful, secluded, comfortable and cozy. Rando has got just about everything you need. If you’re missing anything, there’s a grocery store and a Wally World approx 15-20 min away… but in this serene setting you’d never know these amenities were so close. There are also farmers markets nearby with wonderful fresh produce. Combined with freshly caught crabs (and fish from our charter adventures), our meals were delicious and healthy. Randy provides canoes and kayaks for guest use, and the quiet roads and flat landscape are perfect for bicycling. (When was the last time you lost weight - without trying - WHILE ON VACATION??)
Don’t get me wrong, we’re not health nuts. We drank beer. And we enjoyed a couple of fantastic meals at nearby restaurants. Bonus: The nearby Mallards has pet-friendly outdoor seating in a picturesque setting, with wonderful food!
The house itself is clean, comfortably furnished and has a cozy, casual feel to it. As others have noted, you pass through one bedroom to get to the other so keep this in mind if privacy is an issue. The beds are comfortable and we slept very well. The sofa beds were less so, but that’s to be expected of sofa beds in general. The only sound at night is crickets and the stars are AMAZING.
The outdoor shower is Heaven. Seriously. Try it.
There were a couple of minor issues caused by some inconsiderate prior tenants, but nothing worth mentioning except to say that Randy handled them promptly when brought to his attention. I would recommend you check propane levels before you are ready to start grilling.
All in all, this was a very positive experience and we hope to return in future. Thanks so much, Randy!

A GOOD PLACE TO GET AWAY
A nice place to catch some crabs and oysters. WIFI DID NOT WORK the entire time we were there. I know it is a place to unplug but need WIFI to make phone call in case of emergency since no cell signal there.

Private Vacation
NOT Virginia beach or Outer Banks but a true escape from overcrowded resort areas. Spend time with family and nature with real privacy. No traffic and no screaming children (unless you bring your own).

We live in crazy days -- overscheduled, overprocessed, overdone! "Rockin' Rando's" little oasis provides a respite from all of this. You really are off the grid as much as you can be on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA. Don't come here looking for an eyebrow bar or Michelin starred restaurants; come here to enjoy the beauty only provided by God and enhanced by someone that positively adores his little slice of heaven and is willing to share it.
Again, is this the Beverly Wilshire? No. And nor would we want it to be -- it is not really 3 bedrooms (2 upstairs with one having to pass through the other and share a bathroom that is located within the one bedroom; other sleeping area would be the living room), nor did we find a 3rd bathroom ( outdoor shower and 'nature' as your toilet?)--yet there is a charm in the simplicity of this place and it is not without its 'perks' ... certainly the quiet cove it is located on, the great set up outside for grilling and hanging, a very nicely stocked kitchen with good pots, pans, utensils and cooking accoutrements, a comfortable bed (we only used 1 bed as there were only 2 of us), and lots of eye candy because Randy not only collects but proudly displays his antique and fun rummage finds for his vistors to enjoy. His enthusiasm is infectious and makes for a magical experience for all who are willing to disconnect with 'the grid' and connect, in simplicity, with nature.
